Nora's Will is a comedy like nothing you've seen before, a truly unique tale of lost faith and eternal love from one of Mexico’s most talented new filmmakers, writer/director Mariana Chenillo. The film was named Mexico’s Best Picture of the Year, taking home seven Ariel Awards. Chenillo is the first female director ever to win Best Picture.

Nora’s Will is turning heads in America as well, earning incredible word-of-mouth success in New York and Los Angeles, which is now spreading to the rest of the country. The film has garnered rave reviews from leading national critics such as Ken Turan of the Los Angeles Times, Leonard Maltin and Entertainment Weekly. I invite you to read some of their thoughts on the film below. Nora’s Will currently has an incredible 95% “Fresh” rating on movie review aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com, the highest of any film currently in theatrical release.

Boston critics, in particular, are unanimous in their praise of Nora’s Will, as the film was recommended in all three of Boston’s major publications. Ty Burr of The Boston Globe called the film “a testament to wit and subtlety.” James Verniere of The Boston Herald gave the film an A-, calling it “a fascinating glimpse into a Mexican-Jewish community and a nicely told, more-than-slightly twisted fable of love.” Finally, Peter Keough of The Boston Phoenix gave the film three stars out of four.

EW’s Grade: A- “A fantastic first feature from rising director Mariana Chenillo. Watch for her.'
- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

LA Times Critic's Pick! 'Tremendously appealing…. Most impressive of all is writer/director Mariana Chenillo's ability to make universal a very particular experience, to make something so firmly grounded in Mexico's Jewish community appealing across the board. That's a talent well worth appreciating.'
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

'Pure enjoyment… It's difficult to convince some people that a small, foreign-language film they've never heard of offers more satisfaction than most of the big weekend releases I've seen lately... but it's true.'
- Leonard Maltin, Maltin on Movies
